Huh? If you did not specify your own renderer, etc. in *your* faces-config.xml then you should still have been able to render your tree using the tree2 and renderer that ships with myfaces. If not then there was likely some other problem going on. So were you successful in providing your own tree component once you got this squared away? > Rob sean
